Title: 1932-33 shock absorber rebuild kit
Post by: kbgreen on January 05, 2025, 05:19:59 AM
Some time ago a poster (Mark Parks) (?) offered that a friend had assembled a shock absorber rebuild kit.  Is anyone familiar with this person or the availability of such a rebuild kit?

Hi, I've done a few, the modern seal replacement info in the pictures, advise, take the shocks apart completely, before you heat the arm, this to avoid damage to any of the parts. How I know............

Thanks for your photos with the part number.  I'm nit familiar with the shock absorber yet as I haven't removed them from the car yet.  The poster that I referenced shared the following photograph of the parts contained in the kit.  Does that look familiar?

Easier would be if the supplier was still active.  I've assembled kits like this in the past and sometimes have to order 100 pieces minimum of any one or more part.  I've not assembled this kit but was hoping someone could lead me to the person that has done this.
